HIQRIJS NIB REHESTR-A NJEJ AKINE USIE The sounds of silence didn't prevail in the vocal and orchestral groups as they ended the year with excellent re- sults. Hard work and concentration gave the Lafayette Orchestra a top place in the music department. The large amount of time the orchestra put into improving their skills was well worth their effort, commented james Dyke, orchestra director. Performing for varieties of groups is the main interest of the orchestra. The 76-77 group averaged five perform- ances to civic organizations and ap- peared twice on television. Proud of their accomplishments, the group was selected as the featured event of Bluegrass Personalities. The orchestra competes yearly in local and state competition. The 76-77 orchestra was the first group to receive two consecutive superiors at the High School Fall and Spring Festival and were invited to perform at the Oattawa Musical Festival in Canada. Being in- vited to this festival was a big honor. I wish we were able to attend but financing the trip could not be done, said Mr. Dyke. Three talented seniors, Heather Gar- land, Phillip Dixon, and Mia Smith were selected to perform with the American Youth Symphony Orchestra and john Kuehne performed as a member of the University of Kentucky Orchestra for his entire junior year. BY PEGGY ADKINS The vocal department overflowed with concerts throughout the year. The many groups were involved in singing, dancing, and exercising to develop their many vocal talents. The Lafayette choral department consists of five major groups. The sophomore chorus is open to any in- terested sophomore. Experienced and Advanced choral groups are open for juniors and seniors with experience and some knowledge of music. These three groups perform for civic organi- zations and school concerts. A newly reorganized group added to the department is the well known Chanteurs. The group is made up of basses and tenors and perform an aver- age of fifteen or more concerts a year. I have enjoyed working with these young men and hope the group will grow within the next year, said Mrs. Wake. Charmettes, the soprano-alto vocal group had another great year. Perform- ing for civic organizations, school con- certs, and various activities the Char- mettes stated they really enjoyed their year together. The vocal groups perform yearly at contests but because of the weather conditions the contests were cancelled this past year. The choral department proved a lit- tle effort and involvement can lead to a successful year for music.

necomin '76- The theme of Homecoming '76, If Only You Believe In Miracles , was certainly appropriate. For the first time in several years there was no rain, blackouts, or dance cancellations to mar the Homecoming festivities. The seemingly impossible task of pulling off a disaster-free Lafayette Homecom- ing was accomplished with surprising ease, to the great relief of many. To set off the celebrations at Lafayette, Leonard, of the nationally broadcasted Leonard's Loser's sports show, came to visit Bobby Beck, Lafayette's own Leonard. Festivities continued as the Varsity cheerleaders dressed in crazy costumes and went around school raising the dead spirit among students at Lafayette. Meanwhile members of the Junior Class, Senior Class and FBLA feverishly labored to complete the last minute work on their floats which were to be displayed at halftime. In the cafeteria the student council dance committee buzzed with activity as they put the finishing touches on the deco- rations for the dance following the game. The temperature dropped as kickoff time grew near but many brave and loyal fans crowded into Ishmael Stadium despite the cold. The ROTC gave their contribution to the Homecoming crowd with a firing of the cannon each time Lafayette scored. The cannon got a good workout too as the 4th ranked Generals rolled over 3rd ranked Owensboro Catholic. The fans had indeed seen a miracles of sorts, al- though the Arsenal of Lafayette knew this big upset wasn't really a miracle but the result of a lot of hard work. The excitement continued as the halftime ceremonies began. The parade, led by the three floats, was a beautiful sight for the spectators in the stands. The beauty of the parade was enhanced by the presence of the Queen, Mona Wilson, and her court: Lisa McGuire, Heather Garland, DaRae King and Donna Wall. The Lafayette miracle continued as the Generals widened their lead in the second half and stormed on to win 51-18, much to the delight of the jubil- ant Lafayette fans. The victory celebration in the cafeteria following the game was a joyous one for the delighted Generals as they danced to the music of Spectre, the band provided by the Student Council. The dance was a huge suc- cess, putting a happy end to the miraculously perfect Homecoming '76. IE
